G1 Mirage, probably why I love the sleek sexy new version from Classics. Really need to get the botcon version

Mine was G1 Megatron. IIRC I got him as a birthday present from my parents back in '85. I still have him although he's not in the best condition.

My very 1st was G1 Bumblebee. I still have but he is pretty bad shape. I remember using him as the leader of my autobots until I Powermaster Prime.

My first was G1 Jetfire. I have no idea to this day what happened to him. The second was G1 Megs. Which I can only imagine was lost at some point during the move from Ohio back to Texas.

Prime and Megs, Christmas '84.

I never got TF's as a kid b/c well no one would get them for me. I did have a *dare I say it* Go-Bot but it was only b/c it was a Jeep and I didn't know Hound existed or if I knew it they sure as heck didn't have him in my little town.

So I guess my first TF (and only one as of now) is a G1 Hound reissue that my friend gave me as a thank you for going to BotCon with him

It was either Jazz or Bombshell. Possibly both. And I still have them! Unbroken, but *very* worn.

Energon Scorponok and my best toy (in my opinion) Unleashed Bumblebee.

by **ShiningKnightSilverbolt** » Sun Jul 08, 2007 3:07 am

To me, my first known figure was Beast Wars Optimus Primal.

I didn't start collecting until the Beast Era. :-(

Oh, I'm new, but not new to Transformers.

My grandma got me both Thundercracker and Wheeljack for my 10th birthday. I was the first kid on my street to have real Transformers.

As far as I can remember, it was a G2 Mixmaster(yellow) when I was about eight.

I've got it narrowed down to 1 of 3, so either Optimus (red feet version), Inferno or Dirge. I guess that would have been in '85. Played the hell out of them, lost tyres and wheels and bits and pieces and got a PM Prime a few years later who got all the love rather than my by then quite battered original Prime. None of them survived unfortunately.

The very first TF toy I can remember that I got was in '97 I think. It was BW TM2 Megatron or either Optimal Optimus. Loved those guys to no end.

When I finally decided to get into Transformers, I bought Armada Mini-Prime.

by **Gauge Lock** » Sun Jul 08, 2007 6:09 pm

Blaster. Twas given to me around 1991. It was my older sister's (who at the time was a tomboy and was into stuff like Transformers and Thundercats)

Not counting a guys that were hand-me downs from my brother, G1 Scoop. My brother says I got him when I was three. I still have him, decent condition(he leans back a bit), and with his yellow targetmaster. The blue one, which I remember, has been lost to the ages.

by **Gauge Lock** » Sun Jul 08, 2007 6:19 pm

Not hand me downs? In that case my OWN first Transformers were the two Predcon Fuzors Buzzclaw and Terragator. Sad to say I lost them...I wish I could have kept them around. They were pretty neat!

G1 Sideswipe. Followed almost immediately by Bumblebee and then Soundwave.

News Credits: 1 · by **Judge Deliberata** » Sun Jul 08, 2007 8:10 pm

G1 Hound, but he was lost soon after.

by **Foallen** » Sun Jul 08, 2007 9:26 pm

My first was G1 Starscream. I had him before I had seen the cartoon. I picked him up because I had managed to get enough money and he was a jet, he was bigger than a GoBot, and he was gray and red. I still have him, but he's seen better days.

BTW, my first GoBot predating my first Transformer (GoBots were out here before Transformers) was SpaceC (the space shuttle).

After Starscream, that x-mas I got Soundwave and Ravage and a knock off Shockwave. I remember the three of them proceeded to bully and boss around the GI Joe's and Starscream that x-mas morning.

G2 Optimus Prime (G1 Prime black trailer)
I loved him so much

Then the addiction started. I NEEDED MORE!!!

by **DoubleOScorpio** » Sun Jul 08, 2007 10:00 pm

G1 Bumblebee. After that, I'm fuzzy (was 5 in 1984) but I know that G1 Prime and Soundwave were mine shortly thereafter. Moms wouldn't let me get G1 Megs b/c he was a gun and that wasn't allowed. :-(
